About History's Number 1 Founder: This is the story of a hapless everyday man who is transported to a world where one can become immortal if they cultivate themselves toward enlightenment but is unable to take his time to do so because unlike with other xianxia protagonists, he has a deadline that he received from an un-refusable quest (complete with supporting reality-breaking system) that requires him to be the founder of the Number #1 school within a year’s time upon pain of death.

Review by BillionJellyfish. Rated 5/5

MC is from another world with a game system to fulfill certain quests so as not to die. The MC is extremely hilarious at times while being clever and adapts to situations in a humorous way. Rarely any "comedy" genres can actually make me laugh out loud, but this MC/author did a great job!
The plot is very funny with MC trying to recruit disciples, so the storyline smoothly moves along. There are times when the story gets serious, but overall, it is a light novel.
The interactions between the MC and the side characters is gold! If nothing else, read for the feels! This is the first novel I read outside of the "romance" genres cause I got sick of all those transmigration clichés and this novel is a gem!

Review by Slashs. Rated 5/5

This is a review after finishing the novel. The MC's goal is to create the most powerful sect ever. This is not his own goal at the start but something pushed on him by his own cheat. This cheat gives him "quests" related to this goal he has to complete with the threat of death.

Good points :

Comedy at the start is great.
Sect building is consistent from the beginning to the end, the sect building aspect is not pushed aside
Big Side characters (his direct disciples) are very developed, some are rascals, some are strict or easy going, cruel and so on. They have their own self-created martial arts and personalities. They are very distinct and they are not "empty puppets".
Even small side characters are great! They will have personalities, goals, enemies, friends. Eventually, the main disciples will have their own disciples and even those smaller side characters will have rivalries between each other, have their own mini-arcs, background. They'll fight for the sect and themselves.
For once the girls gets a real chance. They get real "screen time", some are tough and fierce and stand on their own.
The MC is very protecting of his disciple and very generous. It's a nice change.
Seeing the sect develop from a couple of people to hundreds or thousands with their own sect martial arts is very satisfying
There are others sects, some friends, neutral, enemies and we get to see their stances and viewpoints and their own machinations. This means that even if he is in good term with a sect it doesn't mean that they are not looking out for their own benefits.

Bad Points :

There is not much tension. The MC will always win in an over the top fashion.
The MC is very lucky. This is usual in those novels. But for example one of the MC's cheat is a roulette that will give him a random item, the item he will receive will always play a huge role in the near future. He gets exactly what he needs every time, even if he doesn't know it yet.
While there is a lot of sect building stuff written, the focus is still heavily on the MC. We do get some quick peeks on Sect tournaments, sects fights, disciples recruitments and so on. But the author should have gone deeper into those aspects. I wanted to read more about how they were being taught, I wanted more POV chapters on the actual disciples. And so on.

This is a very good novel. I usually end up dropping CN novels after a few hundred chapters because it often gets too repetitive and boring. There is still repetitiveness here, particularly when it's about the MC cultivation and fights (which sadly is the biggest focus of the novel) but the other stuff makes up for it.

Review by Waffle. Rated 5/5.

Amazing novel; in which the author subverts the general 'MC seen as weak, but really strong' commonly found in xianxia or wuxia novels, and focuses more on the psychology of acting strong and tricking people. I found this read far more entertaining than the majority of currently translated xianxia and wuxia, which just focus on power and generally have repeating elements. Although this novel also takes some of these elements; it admits it and even adds characters from other novels for added comedy and effect. Overall: Genius.

Review by Diogenes. Rated 5/5.

This is a very enjoyable novel which plays on tropes pretty well. Its written in the perspective of a person who finds himself tasked with many quests leading up to him creating the number 1 sect in history. It's comical and witty, you should read it. Unfortunately, the pace of translation is quite slow (just look at the dates). This does not complement the pacing of the novel. I'll recommend catching up with the current chapter and stockpiling.

Review by Anonymousse. Rated 2/5.

"History number one troller" is a better title for this fanfic. Yes! This novel is categorized by me as fanfic. Because the author just using four different MC from other authors novels to make his story goes. Luckily those four MC are either from utter trash under average novel (*cough* btth), or lack readers unpopular novel (*cough* xian ni) otherwise all their fans will gonna go looking for this author and spit him to death... Summary: LF (the MC) is a scammer who robs other mc's op item and scam those foolish young naive little MC to become his slaves disciples (gonna pitied those four little MC whose gonna be drag down by their mediocre teacher's speed of cultivation just like four bunnies walk in line up behind a turtle) The gaming theme itself (mission, lottery, reward, etc) made this novel genre vague, neither xianxia or xuanhuan are fit to describe it. Overall, just view this as an average fanfic to waste some time. Action: mostly troll Storyline: absolutely fanfic, takes all kidnapped disciples background, mixed it a bit and goes from that. Romance: none so far Character growth: read the original novel for the four disciples, slow progress growth for LF (the mc). Future reading potential: a bit, not expecting much.
